Wyoming

Wyoming is positioned among the lower quartile of areas assessed nationally for population growth based on AreaSearch's assessment of recent, and medium term trends

As of May 2026, the estimated population of the suburb of Wyoming is around 10,033 people. This figure reflects a decrease of 78 individuals since the 2021 Census, which recorded a population of 10,111 people. The current resident population stands at 10,029, as estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2025 and validation of five new addresses since the Census date. This results in a density ratio of 1,405 persons per square kilometer, higher than the average seen across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Overseas migration was the primary driver of population growth in recent periods for Wyoming.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022, and NSW State Government's SA2 level projections where applicable, released in 2022 with a base year of 2021. These projections indicate an overall population decline by 144 persons by 2041, but growth is anticipated within specific age cohorts, notably the 85 and over age group, projected to grow by 321 people during this period.

The level of residential development activity in Wyoming is very low in comparison to the average area assessed nationally by AreaSearch

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers indicates Wyoming has seen approximately 7 new homes approved annually. Over the past five financial years, from FY-21 to FY-25, around 39 homes were approved, with an additional 2 approved so far in FY-26. Despite population decline, development activity has been adequate relative to other areas, benefiting buyers with more affordable housing options as new homes are built at an average value of $268,000, below the regional average.

This financial year, Wyoming has registered $2.2 million in commercial approvals, suggesting a predominantly residential focus. Compared to Greater Sydney, Wyoming has significantly less development activity, 80.0% below the regional average per person, which typically strengthens demand and prices for existing properties. This is also lower than nationally, reflecting market maturity and possible development constraints. New building activity shows 88.0% standalone homes and 12.0% medium and high-density housing, sustaining Wyoming's suburban identity with a concentration of family homes suited to buyers seeking space. With around 1543 people per dwelling approval, Wyoming reflects a highly mature market.

Given the expected stable or declining population, Wyoming should see reduced pressure on housing, potentially creating opportunities for buyers.

The area offered limited local employment opportunities, as indicated by Census data comparing working population to resident population. Between December 2024 and December 2025, employment levels increased by 3.7%, and labour force grew by 3.7%, keeping unemployment broadly flat. In Greater Sydney, employment grew by 2.2%, labour force expanded by 2.3%, and unemployment rose marginally. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 project overall growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years. Applying these projections to Wyoming's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.8% over five years and 14.2% over ten years, based on a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes.
